text:
A pishtaco is a folkloric boogeyman figure in the Andes region of South America, particularly in Peru and Bolivia, which consumes the fat of its victims. In some parts of the Andes, the pishtaco is referred to as kharisiri, ñakaq, or lik'ichiri in the Aymara language. It is believed to have originated in Spanish conquistadors' practice of using Indigenous Peruvians' corpse fat as treatment for wounds and illnesses.
